All is not right between pop star Wizkid and fast-rising pop
act Davido. According to THE NET both camps are on the verge of calling out
names. Wizkid and Davido were once cool pals with Wizkid making a cameo in
Davido's "Dami Duro" video. Things however have gone bad between
these two lads. The most prominent evidence of their disassociation occurred at
the just concluded NEA. While Wizkid was performing, the HKN boys stood up and
left the hall. This move got tongues wagging.
THE NET breaks down the reason why both Wizkid and Davido.
"It all started with the news of D’banj signing Davido
to his DB Records back in May 2012 – the news turned out to be false, but this
obviously didn’t go down well with the ‘other camp.’
‘You see Davido was very close to Don Jazzy and the Mo’hits
squad before they parted with D’banj. When Jazzy heard Davido signed with
D’banj, he wasn’t entirely happy’, a close friend of both camps tells
NET."
"Don Jazzy is said to have immediately told Wande Coal
(who mentors both Wizkid and Davido) to stop visiting Davido at his Lekki home.
Davido, at the time, was still recording his debut album and
had plans to collaborate with Wande and Wizzy on separate songs. When Davido
contacted Wande Coal, the pop singer’s management asked for an exorbitant fee
(reportedly N1.5m) for the collabo. Sources say Davido was keen to get it done,
but his manager Asa Asika was having none of it. This ‘sudden policy’ led to a war of words
between Asika and Wande’s manager Nana. The collabo never happened. Wande and
Davido stopped talking and calling each other."
"Davido moved on to record the much talked about duet
with Wizkid. But when he sent the instrumental to the EME team, Wizkid, sources
say, told them he couldn’t work with Davido on the song, saying the beat wasn’t
up to standard and he didn’t want to lower his brand. Little did Davido know
that it was his fight with Wande that made him (Wizkid) immediately take sides.
‘Wande is like Wizkid’s elder brother. Wizzy looks up to him
a lot and anything Wande says, Wizkid will do. When Wande told him about what
happened between him and Davido, he just took sides with him straight’, says
our inside source.
Davido, losing on both ends, scrapped both songs and even
though it was a huge blow, he didn’t let it get him down. The disappointment is
said to have inspired the first track on his album ‘All of you.’ Davido, well
known for his boisterous attitude, laid it all out on the song, claiming to be
better than ‘everyone’, referencing artistes such as 2face, Psquare and D’banj
as his mentors, conspicuously leaving out the MAVIN and EME crew. The MAVINS
seemingly responded by not attending Davido’s album launch held at the Eko
Hotel and Suites
‘Davido doesn't send Don Jazzy or them Banky W again, that's
what inspired that song, he believes they aren't better than him and to an
extent he does prove it’ said our source."
The cold war between Don Jazzy and D'Banj seems to drag more
people into its net. Don't get it twisted people, the fight between Davido and
Wizkid will be messy. With both camps having money to spend its going to be a
showdown.
